FAQs
What is the typical coverage rate for this epoxy floor paint?
Coverage varies based on application method and substrate porosity. For the aerosol can, it's generally for smaller areas or touch-ups. Refer to specific product data sheets for detailed coverage estimates for larger quantities.
Can this paint be used on existing painted floors?
It is not recommended to apply directly over old paint without proper preparation. The existing paint must be thoroughly removed, or the surface must be mechanically prepared and primed with a compatible primer to ensure adhesion.
What is the best way to clean the applied floor?
Clean with water and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the protective coating.
How long does the floor need to cure before it can be used?
The floor is walkable in approximately 24 hours and fully cured, ready for heavy traffic and chemical exposure, within 7 days.
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
While it offers good resistance, it's primarily designed for industrial and workshop environments. Long-term UV exposure may affect its appearance or performance. Check manufacturer recommendations for outdoor suitability.
Can I add anti-slip properties to the finish?
Yes, quartz additives can be mixed into the wet coating during application to create an anti-slip surface, which is beneficial for high-traffic or potentially wet areas.
What are the storage conditions for the product?
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Follow manufacturer guidelines for shelf life.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not self-levelling
Ensure the ambient temperature is within the recommended range for application. Check if the product has expired or been stored improperly. Application thickness may also be a factor; ensure an even coat.
Poor adhesion to the substrate
The concrete surface may not have been adequately prepared. Re-clean and abrade the surface. Ensure the substrate was completely dry and free from contaminants before application. Verify compatibility with any primer used.
Uneven finish or brush/roller marks
Apply the paint evenly and avoid overworking it. Use high-quality rollers or trowels suitable for epoxy coatings. Ensure consistent application speed and direction. Allow the product to level for the recommended time.
Long curing time
Check the ambient temperature and humidity; lower temperatures and higher humidity can significantly slow curing. Ensure the recommended mixing ratio of components (if applicable to this product variant) was followed precisely. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation:
Proper preparation of the concrete substrate is paramount for optimal performance. The surface must be clean, dry, and free from any contaminants such as oil, grease, or old coatings. Mechanical grinding or shot blasting is recommended to ensure a profile that promotes excellent adhesion. Ensure the concrete is fully cured (typically 28 days).
Application:
This paint can be applied using a roller, trowel, or notched trowel. Ensure consistent application thickness for uniform curing and performance. The product is compatible with Mipa primers for enhanced adhesion and durability. For anti-slip properties, quartz additives can be incorporated into the wet coating.
Compatibility:
Primarily designed for concrete substrates. Always use compatible primers as recommended by the manufacturer. Not suitable for asphalt or existing painted surfaces unless they are properly prepared and primed.
Care:
To maintain the finish, clean spills promptly. Regular cleaning with mild detergents and water is sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could damage the coating. Periodic inspection for any signs of wear or damage is advised.
